Api task templates partial update

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=false, meaning this is a mutating, non-idempotent operation, but the description frames it as an 'export mixin' — a read-only concept. It discloses nothing about what gets modified, required permissions, or partial-update semantics.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is short and front-loaded, but the single sentence is wrong about the tool's function, so brevity buys nothing. An inaccurate one-liner is worse than a longer accurate one.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a non-idempotent mutation on a task template with an opaque free-form body and no output schema, the description supplies zero usable information. Nothing an agent needs in order to call it safely is present.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% across both parameters (id, body), so the description must compensate and instead says nothing. The untyped 'body' object in particular is left entirely unexplained.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description says 'Generic export mixin for CSV/XLSX exports', which describes an internal code construct, not this tool. The tool name indicates a partial update (PATCH) of a task template, so the stated purpose is misleading rather than merely vague.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance at all on when to use this tool versus siblings such as ciso_assistant_api_task_templates_update or ciso_assistant_api_task_templates_export_csv_retrieve. The one sentence present points the agent toward an export path that belongs to a different tool.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
